My students are no longer just reading about scientific concepts in textbooks—they are observing specimens, testing hypotheses, and recording live data like real scientists.\r\n\r\nOne memorable moment occurred when we received the live lady bug larva and the caterpillars. The students were excited to come into the classroom to observe how they were growing. They watched a caterpillar turn into a butterfly.

Knowing that a donor out in the community invested in their education makes them feel valued and excited to learn every day. These durable materials will continue to inspire young scientific minds for years to come.\r\n\r\nThank you for powering curiosity in our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1785616179096,"projectUrl":"project/life-under-the-lens/10242787/","projectTitle":"Life Under the Lens","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Taylor","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10489052_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1778290012801","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/amy-taylor22"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_77361","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":810,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":47,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":48,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":81.4,"schoolId":77361,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Chillicothe Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Chillicothe Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/chillicothe-school-district-r2/dewey-elementary-school/77361"}
